New to this group, 55 , Been riding since I was 11. Not sure if I am a hot rodder who does bikes or vice versa. I just love machines. My current stable is mostly vintage stuff and includes a 72 Honda CT70, CB350, 70 Bonnie, 77 FLH, 73 750-4, 78 KZ650, and a big Shadow. I've owned Suzuki, Yamaha and BSA too. so not really brand loyal. If it is a Motorcycle I am most likely going to ride it! I Mostly ride local (love the Cuyahoga valley) but would leave it all to ride the Smokies everyday! "Danimal" recommended me, Said it was place I should be......................I also do a bit of Custom paint on the side.

I had to drop by a say Hello to all my Ohio friends and family... Flashback... Whitey says enjoy the winter weather...from Florida.... Even though I live in Florida... my heart is shaped like the Buckeye State... Enjoy my 2017 Triumph Thruxton R... named Victoria!!!

You can use their bikes with the single days as well.

Hi The classic saying on being a new rider--- You get a full bucket of luck and an empty bucket for skill. When you start out, you are mostly using up the luck bucket. Your job is to fill up the skill bucket before the luck bucket runs out. Best wishes and welcome to riding. - Practice as much as you can, and as been mentioned, find a more experienced buddy to ride with and ask lots of questions..

Welcome, Im fairly new to riding myself and enjoy a peaceful stroll thru curvy county roads. Feel free to tag a long

Welcome to the forum. Being such a new rider, I'd recommend avoiding the larger group rides that was recommended earlier. until you've become much more familiar with riding. There's so much more that goes on in those rides that a newer rider doesn't need to be dealing with. Focus on riding solo or with one or two other experienced riders who won't force you to ride over your head. Too many times I see newer riders try and ride in larger groups and something bad happens because of the entirety of what is happening at once and the also added risk of more experienced riders pulling a newer rider to riding over their head. Look forward to riding with you some day.
